The Unforgettable City : Barcelona (Day Three)

Casa Batlló is a masterpiece by Antoni Gaudí. It is very unique and unusual. It is a remodel of a previously built house located in the heart of Barcelona. It was redesigned in 1904 by Gaudí. I do not know how to describe the playfulness and creativity of this Gaudí's masterpiece. When I walked through the building, I was very impressed by the artistic design and architectural details.

The Unforgettable City: Barcelona (Day Two)

Second day in Barcelona. We had breakfast at Farggi, which is a cafe located just off Plaza Catalunya. I ordered a cafe au lait and an apple danish. I love Farggi's cafe au lait - it was so rich and smooth!

The Unforgettable City : Barcelona (Day One)

It was April 2012. My first visit to Barcelona. I fell in love with the city - the streets, architectures, food (tapas!), people, and the laid back lifestyle. Barcelona is a magical city that I can never forget. My hubby and I spent 5 days in Barcelona and it was absolutely amazing! We had the most incredible time during our visit and I couldn't wait to share my journey with you guys.

How to make Raspberry Pot de Creme

My older brother bought me a set of Le Creuset mini cocottes as a housewarming gift from Hong Kong several months ago. These mini cocottes are very cute and I love the color so much! I think these colors are only available in Asia and I really hope that Le Creuset U.S. will carry these colors one day. 

I used these lovely mini Le Creuset cocottes to make Raspberry Pot de Creme and they were creamy and so wonderfully delicious. Simply yet elegant, these sweet and super delicious confections are sure to impress your gusts at any time. :)


they look so cute and delicious!

How to make Mini Egg Custard Moon Cakes

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming up and it is one of the most important annual festivals for the Chinese people! It is a day for family to celebrate a time when the moon is at its fullest and brightest of the whole year. When I was still living in Hong Kong, I used to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with my family. We would have a big dinner together in the evening of Mid-Autumn. After dinner, we would go to park to see the festive decorations. We also brought our lanterns, moon cakes and festive fruits with us, and observed the bright, beautiful full moon with lit lanterns and candles throughout the night until bedtime.
